Hello everyone and welcome to the latest installment of the Weekly Contests!  This week's game is going to be Mach Rider.  Here are the rules:

  • Choose Fighting Course
  • Pick whichever track you want, A or B
  • Play until Game Over.  Pause the game as soon as you lose your last life to get your picture.
  • If you loop the score, take a picture right before the loop and right after the loop.  Do this for each loop of the score.
  • Highest score wins
  • Participation: 1,000
  • GENRE: Arcade


The contest ends Sunday, 7/15/18 at 11 PM NA time.  Your user name MUST be written or typed on a piece of paper and be in the picture for your score to be valid.  The entire TV screen, or computer monitor if you are playing on an emulator, MUST be in the picture for the score to be valid.  No partial screenshots will be considered or accepted.  No screenshots by hitting "print screen" on a computer will be allowed.  You must take a picture of your computer monitor.  There may be instances where this will be acceptable, but it will be at the discretion of myself and the contest organizers.  Also, the use of turbo controllers is forbidden, as well as any cheat codes, Game Genies, slow motion functions, or save states if playing on an emulator.  Also, we will only be using NTSC systems for the contests.  The use of PAL systems will NOT be allowed.  Good luck everyone and have fun

I've figured out how to play for points, sort of. I'm not even close to beating the game.

I don't love it, at least not yet, but it is innovative for the time. It precedes RoadBlasters by a couple years.

It's hard. Go too fast and you barely have enough time to react to obstacles that are all over the road. Go too slow and asshole enemies ram you from behind. Urgh.

Things are a wee bit slow here, it seems, very much unlike the fast motorcycle the Mach Rider lady rides in this game.

I had trouble even gettting participation when I first played this, because I didn't know that you have to shift gears to go faster. Enemies ram from behind if you drive too slow.

The first game I ever got for NES when I was very young was Mach Rider. I was expecting Excitebike, and was very disappointed. Looking back today, I could see how it could still be fun to go back and play.

Ehh I'm not sure about this one, I went in expecting little but its an all right game.  I like this better than Roadblasters.   Bare minimum effort here and I'd rather just put it down but theres easy leaderboard points on the table here

At this rate, we might not even have 8 scores in this week.

I loved this game when I first got it, and I spent forever trying to get a block on the black quad.  Good memories.  As with most games, I was way better as a kid than I am now.  The benefits of free time and patience...
